Step by step

From application to pipeline

1

Apply to Join

Tell us who you are, what your business does, and who you serve. It takes a few minutes and costs nothing. Curation is what keeps the room high-quality.

2

Get Approved

David McLain reviews every application personally, usually within days. No auto-approval, no committees. If the fit is right, you’re in.

Not sure you’re a fit? Apply anyway. David will tell you straight.
3

Attend a Wednesday Lunch

Reserve your seat and join us at Spring Creek BBQ in League City, TX, every wednesday, 11:45 AM – 1:15 PM. The small per-event fee is the quality filter.

Your first visit is the best way to feel the difference from a mixer.
4

Connect & Refer

Give your 60-second intro, hear the member spotlight, and join the referral round. Introductions get made on the spot, and followed up on.

The directory keeps you findable and connected between meetings.
5

Grow

Show up consistently and relationships compound into a steady pipeline: clients, partners, and trusted advisors across Greater Houston.

Everyone leaves every meeting with a next step.

Why it works

Structure beats luck

Most networking leaves referrals to chance. We engineered the chance out of it.

The usual way

  • Anyone with a ticket walks in
  • Collect 40 cards, follow up with none
  • No structure, loud room, shallow small talk
  • You leave drained and empty-handed

The New Horizon way

  • Every member vetted and approved
  • Structured intros, spotlights, and referral rounds
  • A consistent weekly rhythm that builds trust
  • You leave with real leads and a next step
Good questions

Before you apply

What does it cost?

Applying is free. Meetings carry a small per-event fee (typically $25–35). That fee is the quality filter that keeps the room serious. Membership tiers with more reach are on the pricing page.

Do I have to attend every week?

No attendance police here, but consistency is where the value is. Members who show up regularly get referred the most, because the room knows and trusts them.

Can I visit before applying?

Yes. Book a meeting pass, come to a Wednesday lunch, and see the room for yourself before you commit to anything.

Who is it for?

Business owners, founders, and senior decision-makers in Greater Houston who are ready to give referrals as well as get them. If that’s you, apply.

Step one is free
